Replying to: roni (Mar 29, 2005 9:18 pm) I recommend turning off your caps lock as people tend to ignore messages containing all caps. Sparse and well placed emphasis will attract attention in a more appealing manner. tidester, host |

Hi: I'm interested in the GX 470, but would like to negotiate a little with the dealer. My local dealer may not be the best place to do that. The problem is with options. The GX is apparently mass produced with third row seats. That adds about $2,000 to the MSRP. Also, I would like to get the navigation package that includes the upgraded Anderson sound system -- about a $5,0000 add-on to the MSRP. I can get the invoice for the base model, but can't seem to find it with those options. Does anyone know what the invoice is on a GX with those options? Can anyone give me any experience with a purchase and/or lease with that configuration? Also, I'd be interested in any suggestions for dealers willing to "talk" in the Northern New England area (NH & Mass) Thanks MikeJ |

Hello: I just wanted to pass along the outstanding buying experience my wife and I had at Ray Catena Lexus in NJ. After several months of negotiations in the Washington, DC area we were forced to travel out of state to purchase our new 05 GX. We haggled and haggled painstakingly with local dealers but in the end made our purchase over the phone in 20 minutes, out-of-state. I sent an e-mail to the Internet Sales group at Ray Catena and they returned with a phone call in less than 30 minutes. I mentioned this web site forum and started the negotiations. In less than 20 minutes we agreed upon a price and the vehicle was reserved with a 500.00 deposit. We waited about three weeks for our car to arrive at port and the dealership kept us informed about the delivery date. We opted for every option except DVD, the color is Blizzard Pearl and we paid $47,000.00 before taxes, MSRP $52,888.00. This price beat our local area prices hands down! Ray Catena Lexus picked us up at the Amtrak station in Trenton, NJ, transported us to the dealership, complete the paperwork and we drove our new GX 250 miles back to our home. GREAT RIDE HOME! This dealership is very prepared for out-of-state purchases and completed all the necessary paperwork to obtain MD tags and registration in a timely manner. I would highly recommend a call to them if you're within driving distance distance to Monmouth, NJ, you won't be disappointed. Good luck with your purchase and give them a call! Tom

I purchased an '05 GX 470 with: Navigation / Mark Levinson audio Third Row Seat Rear Seat Entertainment (DVD) Hitch Bracket Hitch Receiver w/Ball Mount Rear Spoiler wheel locks exhaust tip cargo net carpeted cargo mat for $47,514, from the excellent people at Putnum Lexus in Redwood City. With tax and licenses it was $51,482.62 out the door. Edmunds doesn't list the invoice on the rear spoiler, but I think it's about $345, so that would put me pretty darn close to invoice. I wouldn't have gotten such a great deal if it wasn't for being prepared, with much thanks to Edmunds.

I am in the Market for an 05 GX470. I visited the local dealership in Dallas today and was quoted a $54.8K price for the GX loaded with: Navigation / Mark Levinson audio Third Row Seat Rear Seat Entertainment (DVD) Hitch Bracket Hitch Receiver w/Ball Mount Rear Spoiler wheel locks exhaust tip cargo net carpeted cargo mat That's so far from what I'm seeing on this forum I don't believe negotiating it down is possible. Any advice for the Dallas area buyers ? |

Try emailing different dealers and make them fight for your business rather going to the dealership. Tell them You've got a quote for this much, can you beat this price? Krystal |

Replying to: ksc1 (Mar 15, 2005 6:04 pm) I got the car very close to invoice but what got me was the willingness to listen in what I have to say. I look forward to servicing my car there and I hope their service dept is as good as their sales. BTW, Thanks to edmunds.com's forum, I was able to confirm that I got my car at a great price.
